I want to get a die-cast model F-15C for my dad for Christmas, with a stand. I have about 100bux to spend. Is there a particular company/model you'd recommend? I don't mind using hobby link japan, if that matters.
(Whoops, posted a Strike Eagle instead.)

Don't know shit about modern ones, but when I was young I had some great metal planes made by Ertl. A quick search shows a F-15C on ebay right now for $22.
